mgoldman11 2 Posted December 30, 2013 You are going to do great! You will be ok. I went for a walk with my friend who had her sleeve done a week ago. She already looks great and went for a really long walk. My surgery is in 4 days so I understand what you are feeling. I have had a ton of nervous energy. Love and prayers to you!

I am now feeling nervous and have lots of butterflies in my tummy. Tell me I will be okay and the pain won't be so bad please please please :/ I had my surgery on Nov. 19 and did not have any pain meds other than Tylenol because of my allergies to pain meds. I had incision tenderness but hardly any other pain. My doctor said I recovered the fastest he had seen patient recover and felt it might have been because of the lack of pain meds. So I know most people take meds but I couldn't and did great. Best of luck tomorrow. Just breath! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginabo 0 Posted December 30, 2013 I'm on day four. First day and second you'll need help but just keep walking around as soon as you can and sip sip sip. Quicker you get Water and Protein and get the air in you out you'll feel great! Day 4 and hardly any discomfort! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
